Having two similar communities on the same topic splits conversations, and give posters decision fatigue

Edit: some topics have consolidated their communities to avoid that, example from a few months ago: https://lemm.ee/post/46935805

Edit2: the UK community has a lot of different mod. The .org community only has one, who hasn't been active since 8 days.

I noticed the same and am all for combining. I struggle with the multiple same posts across similar communities.

We can have multiple European sources and people can choose their likes themselves. Want to avoid UK because of 5 eyes, go for it. Not sure about this Sweden law around E2EE, take it into account.

I voted remain in Brexit and despite not being in the EU I see myself as European. Some of us in the UK are acting just the same way to consider our relationship with the US, and in recent years, I have moved to European suppliers (e.g. mailbox.org).
